It was well documented last summer that Jose Mourinho was keen to sign Inter Milan forward Ivan Perisic. Unfortunately, the deal never developed but, if it did, would we have Alexis Sanchez at Old Trafford?

I wouldn’t be so sure about that and Anthony Martial would be even further down the pecking order had the Croatian international arrived.

But just when we thought the Perisic chapter was over, the rumours linking the winger to Old Trafford have returned as if he is the second coming of Wesley Sneijder.
